Another point the advantages of whirli
were advocated bv some was the sue

there would be three 2in foot spans

There has been very little doing

continued scarcity of logs. The situa

reflected elsewhere along the stream.
save sit Minneapolis. The Minneapolis
Times has the following to say of the
situation:
Twenty-five thousand lumber miil
men are idle at, present in the Missis
sippi valley from its source to Keokuk,
Iowa. Not one lumber mill on the
whole river below Minneapolis is in
operation. The only two mills now
working on the entire river are the
North Land Pine Lumber company and
the Little Falls Lumber company, both
belonging to the Weyerhaeuser interests.
The Mississippi & Rum River Boom
company cannot supply the other mills
with logs. The boom companies say
that the extremely low stage of the
water is the reason for their inability
to bring the drives down to the city.
The logs now being sawed by the two
Weyerhaeuser mills were brought down
and put in pockets early in the spring
before the water went down.
"'There has been some mismanage
ment or miscalculating on the part of
the boom company,' said John L. De
I.aittre of the Bovey-DeLaittre Lumber
company.
Itumnrn of IlUorlmlnat Inn.
"There are many rumors going the
rounds of the lumber offices to the ef
fect that the Weyerhaeuser interests
have secured control of the boom com
pany and have been guilty of discrim
ination. The boom company Is run on
the same basis as any common carrier
Not a wheel is moving in a lumber mill
in Minneapolis, except the North Land
Pine company.
"The Weyerhaeuser mill at Little
Falls, Minn., is the only mill operating

You may really need
this or that, even
though it Is not an ab

the lady of the house,
a new gown or a new
hat; for a man, a new
suit or a new rig this
may help to "make an
Impression" at a time
or place where it will
mean dollars and cents
to you.
In such cases It really pays one to "go beyond his Income." The
question may be how to be able to go beyond it. Not only how to go ?
beyond, but how to do it safely. O
It's no longer a question with many in this community, as they
have found they can borrow ths necessary money here and repay U9 O
a little at a time and hardly miss the money. ' S
